History

GLM got its start with the Kyoto Electric Car Project, launched in 1996 by the Kyoto Venture Business Laboratory. Launching GLM Co., Ltd. in 2010. GLM had worked on R&D and the commercialization of a range of electric vehicles, but the notion of an electric sports car captured our imagination. GLM were lucky enough to meet a manufacturer in Kyoto that had, for a limited time, produced a much talked-about sports car — the Tommy Kaira ZZ. GLM took on the concept and quickly set about developing it from scratch as a full electric car. In 2014, GLM launched the first version of the Tommy Kaira ZZ. Its high performance, drawing on the fun handling of an electric car, won acclaim, ramping up the speed of GLM’s business.
